BIBLE  SOCIETIES. 

Oue  characterir>tic  feature  of  the  nineteeuth 
century  is  the  fonnation  of  Bible  societies  for 
the  pubUcatioii  and  distribution  of  the  books  of 
Holy  Scripture.  The  sixteenth  century  was  pro- 
lific in  new  versions  of  the  Holy  Bible,  and  the 
seventeenth  century  saw  a  large  circulation  of 
copies,  no  less  than  472  editions  of  the  authorized 
English  version  having  been  published  before  its 
close.  But  it  was  reserved  for  these  later  years 
to  behold  the  hearty  union  of  Christian  men 
standing  on  the  broad  platform  of  the  Bible,  and 
leagued  together  for  the  single  purpose  of  dissem- 
inating the  Scriptures  in  the  received  versions 
where  they  exist,  and  in  the  most  faithful  where 
they  may  be  required.  First  among  these  asso- 
ciations was  the  Beitish  axd  Foreign  Bible 
Society,  founded  in  1804,  which  at  the  close  of 
its  seventy-first  year,  having  extended  its  opera- 
tions to  almost  every  country  in  the  world,  had 
put  into  circulation  nearly  seventy-four  million 
copies  of  the  Bible  and  of  integral  parts  of 
the  Bible,  in  above  two  hundred  languages  and 
dialects,  and  had  expended  nearly  eight  millions 
sterling  in  translating,  printing,  and  dissemi- 
nating the  Scriptures.  It  has  its  agents  and 
correspondents,  colporteurs  and  depots  in  every 
part  of  Europe,  and  besides  this,  Syrians  and 
Persians,  Indians  and  Chinese,  Abyssiuians 
and  Kafirs,  the  islanders  of  Madagascar,  New 
Zealand,  and  the  South  Seas,  Mexicans  and 
Esquimaux,  with  many  others,  can  say  that 
through  its  means  they  hear  in  their  own 
touLCues  the  wonderful  works  of  God.

THE   AMERICAN    BIBLE   SOCIETY 

AVas  orgauized  in  the  city  of  Xew  York,  in 
May,  ISIG,  by  a  convention  of  delegates  from 
different  parts  of  tlie  country.  It  had  been 
preceded  by  a  hirge  number  of  local  and  inde- 
pendent societies,  the  oldest  of  which  was  that 
established  in  Philadelphia  in  ISOS,  but  most 
of  these  became  satisfied  of  the  advantage  of 
concentrating  their  resources  and  energies,  and 
cheerfully  enrolled  themselves  as  auxiliaries  of 
the  national  Society. 

Its  business  is  conducted  by  a  I^oard  of  ^lana- 
gers,  consisting  of  thirty-six  laymen  of  various 
Christian  denominations. 

Its  work  is  benevolent  and  unsectarian.  It 
has  but  one  aim,  and  that  is  to  encourage  a 
wider  circulation  of  the  Holy  Scrij^tures.  Its 
fundamental  law  requires  that  this  should  be 
without  note  or  comment.  The  only  version  in 
the  English  language  which  it  can  circulate  is 
that  which  has  been  commonly  received  since 
the  year  1611.  It  aims  to  extend  its  influence  to 
other  countries,  Christian,  Mohammedan,  and 
Pagan,  and  during  the  last  year  has  aided  in 
circulating  the  Scriptures  in  France,  Russia, 
Germany,  Austria,  Italy,  Xorway,  Sweden, 
Turkey,  Asia  Minor,  Syria,  Persia,  India,  Siam, 
China,  Japan,  Mexico,  South  America,  Africa, 
the  West  Indies,  and  the  Islands  of  the  North- 
ern Pacific.  At  the  close  of  its  sixtieth  year  its 
total  issues  of  Bibles,  Testaments,  and  integral 
portions  of  Scripture  are  33,12o,7GG,  its  expend- 
itures in  this  work  having  exceeded  scvcntrcn 
millions  of  dollars.

TRANSLATIONS. 

Since  the  era  of  Bible  societies  began,  the  Chris- 
tian scliolarsliip  of  tlie  world  has  produced  not 
ftir  from  two  hundred  and  fifty  versions  of  the 
Bible  or  j^arts  of  the  Bible ;  ^nd  probably  two 
hundred  languages  and  dialects  have  thus  for 
the  first  time  been  enriched  with  the  literature 
of  this  book.  jNIany  of  them  had  never  before 
been  reduced  to  writing. 

Few  persons  appreciate  the  difficulty  of  ren- 
dering the  Scriptures  from  the  original  Hebrew 
and  Greek  into  languages  which  have  not  been 
previously  pervaded  and  moulded  bj^  Christian 
thought ;  yet  in  laying  foundations  for  genera- 
tions that  are  to  follow,  one  may  well  devote 
to  the  work  the  energies  of  a  lifetime.  The 
translation  of  the  Bible  into  Arabic  by  Dr.  Eli 
Smith  and  Dr.  Van  Dyck  required  the  labour 
of  sixteen  years.  Dr.  Schauffler,  of  Constanti- 
nople, completed  in  1874  the  translation  of  the 
Osmanlee  version  of  the  Scriptures  which  he 
began  as  long  ago  as  1800.  Fifteen  years  of  con- 
tinuous labour  w^ere  spent  by  Dr.  Schereschew- 
sky  in  rendering  the  Old  Testament  into  the 
Mandarin  Colloquial.  After  nearly  forty  years 
of  study  and  of  missionary  labour,  Di".  William- 
son and  Dr.  Biggs  have  their  Dakota  version 
of  the  Bible  almost  complete,  and  one  of  them 
estimates  that  he  has  sj^ent  on  an  average  full 
thirty  minutes  on  each  verse  he  has  trans- 
lated. These  are  illustrations  of  the  labour  ex- 
pended by  Christian  missionaries  in  the  pre- 
liminary work  of  preparing  new  versions  of 
Scripture.

CENTENNIAL   EXHIBITION. 

Having  secured  a  verv  eligible  situation  in  the 
book  department  of  the  Main  Exhibition  Build- 
ing, the  Society  has  had  a  case  constructed  for 
the  display  of  a  collection  of  Scriptures  in  most 
of  the  languages  in  which  the  AVord  of  God  has 
been  circulated  since  the  work  of  publishing 
and  distributing  the  Bible  began. 

One  entire  compartment  is  devoted  to  speci- 
men copies  of  books  in  various  styles  of  binding, 
while  in  contrast  with  this,  another  part  of  the 
case  contains  a  valuable  collection  of  printed 
Bibles,  illustrating  the  work  of  four  preceding 
centuries. 

One  shelf  is  filled  with  a  series  of  bi-lingual 
volumes,  showing  at  one  opening  the  combina- 
tion of  English  Scriptures  with  German,  French, 
Spanish,  Italian,  etc.  Three  shelves  are  devoted 
to  the  languages  of  Europe,  one  to  those  of 
Africa,  and  three  to  those  of  Asia ;  one  of  these 
being  filled  with  specimens  of  the  versions  pre- 
pared and  printed  in  the  dialects  of  China.  The 
Scriptures  in  languages  peculiar  to  the  islands 
of  the  Pacific  fill  one  shelf,  and  on  another  is 
a  series  of  translations  made  for  the  aborigines 
of  America. 

By  this  array  of  o]^^en  pages  it  is  thought  that 
many  may  be  led  to  appreciate,  as  never  before, 
the  extent  of  the  work  in  which  this  Society 
bears  an  important  part.  Thanks  are  due  to 
the  British  and  Foreign  Bible  Society  for  the

NEED  OF  BENEVOLENT  CONTRIBUTIONS. 

The  Americau  Bible  Society  appeals  to  all  who 
love  the  Bible  to  aid  its  work  of  circulating  the 
Scriptures. 

1.  Its  publications  when  sold  yield  no  profit, 
the  prices  being  i:)ut  so  low  as  to  return  no  more 
than  the  cost. 

2.  Its  annual  grants  of  books  for  distribution 
in  our  own  land  are  numerous.  The  value  of 
these  grants  for  the  last  decade  exceeds  one  mil- 
lion of  dollars. 

3.  It  makes  other  large  expenditures  to  pro- 
mote the  wider  distribution  of  the  Scriptures, 
especially  in  destitute  parts  of  the  land. 

4.  Its  aid  is  freely  extended  to  foreign  lands, 
and  especially  to  those  in  wdiich  American  mis- 
sionaries are  labouring;  in  this  way  $786,000 
in  money  have  been.  exj)ended  during  the  last 
ten  years. 

5.  While  the  salaries  and  other  expenses  of 
administration  at  the  Bible  House  are  provided 
for  by  the  rentals  of  a  building  erected  through 
the  liberality  of  citizens  of  Xew  York,  the  Soci- 
ety is  dependent  upon  the  free  gifts  of  the  public 
for  all  other  departments  of  its  beneficent  AA^ork. 
By  remembering  the  Society  in  their  wills,  its 
friends  may  help  its  work  after  their  own  decease. 

Form  of  a  Bequest  to  the  Society. 

I  give  and  bequeath  to  the  xVmcrican  Bible 
Society,  formed  in  Xew  York,  in  the  jesiT  eight- 
een hundred  and  sixteen,  the  sum  of 

,  to  be  applied  to  the  charitable  uses 
and  purposes  of  said  Society,

HOW   TO  HELP  THE   SOCIETY'S  WORK. 

1.  By  buying  and  circulating  its  books.  Its 
publications  are  admirably  adaj^tted  for  all  classes 
of  persons:  books  in  large  type  for  the  aged;  in 
raised  letters  for  the  blind ;  parts  of  the  Bible  for 
the  convenience  of  readers  who  prefer  not  to  hold 
a  heavy  book;  reference  Bibles  for  those  who 
compare  Scripture  with  Scripture ;  Bibles  in  vari- 
ous languages  for  foreigners  ;  and  of  various  sizes 
for  pulpits,  families,  travellers,  scholars,  and  oth- 
ers. Being  offered  for  sale  at  cost,  these  Bibles  do 
not  often  make  their  way  through  the  ordinary 
channels  of  trade,  but  they  are  widel^^  distributed 
through  the  country,  and  may  be  found  or  or- 
dered through  the  count)/  dr2:>o.sUorics  at  numer- 
ous points.  AYhoever  becomes  a  lourchaser  and 
distributer  helps  in  this  work. 

2.  By  commending  the  Scrix)tures  to  others, 
and  convincing  men  that  they  owe  it  to  them- 
selves, their  families,  their  country,  and  their 
God,  to  own,  read,  and  study  this  sacred  book. 

3.  By  entering  heartily  into  arrangements  pro- 
viding for  a  thorough  and  economical  resupply 
of  districts  with  the  Bible.  This  home-work  of 
exploration  and  supply  falls  properly-  within  the 
province  of  local  societies  auxiliary  to  the  Ameri- 
can Bible  Society.  Their  efficiency  and  success 
depend  mainly  upon  the  voluntary  co-operation 
of  churches  and  individuals. 

4.  By  remitting  donations  to  the  American 
Bible  Society'  for  its  benevolent  work  in  our  own 
and  in  foreign  lands,  that  it  may  sow  the  seed 
of  truth  in  the  great  and  accessible  field  which 
opens  before  it.
